So, if the current pattern of almost no one voting for MKM (sniff) holds up … um … who’s going to tell Onimaru Miki that she lost in the opening round?

is it just me, or did Ouran really belong in the comedy division?

I would have voted for it over anything else nominated in that division, but nothing beats Honey & Clover in shoujo. Nothing.

I’m not quite sure why Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi is in the comedy bracket, but I won’t complain since I can’t think of a better place to put it.

But seriously, Minami-ke over Azumanga Daioh? WHAT THE HELL???!? Minami-ke isn’t bad, but in terms of funny it isn’t even in the same league as Azumanga.

I’m going to chalk Death Note over Mushi-shi up to the fact that Death Note is more recent and widely known. And as far a being philosophical, Death Note only really had one thought provoking issue (which still puts it one up over 99.9% of anime) – everything else was cunning and plotting and scheming. Intelligent activities, sure, but not quite philosophical.

Make it two years then. All four leaders are less than two years old.

Ah, I screwed that up.

Like Haruhi a lot taken as a whole but I don’t think the whole season was half as funny as just that last episode of Fumoffu!. Same deal with FMA vs Black Lagoon… former is a great show in general but the action, good as it could be, was still just an accomplice to the drama, Black Lagoon is retarded over-the-top action for the sheer joy of it and that’s hard to beat. I think you are missing the whole point. Jason, is trying to find the BEST anime overall, according to his readers, as im sure these "divisions" will go out the window in the next round. Yes, Fumoffu is funnier than Haruhi, that isnt really debatable, but Haruhi is a much better series overall. Black Lagoon has great action, but its not better than FMA, GitS:SAC or Berserk, not even close. Don’t think so, as Haruhi the elder is barreling to the top as per usual. Make it two years then. Not surprisingly all 4 leaders right now are less than two years old, they are all relatively new.

Just how do my main complaints contradict each other? I’m a bit confused.
Static images vs. CGI. Cel animation might be more artistic or classy or whatever you want to call it, but it’s not always feasible to do so. We’re talking about Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No.2 or Chopin’s Etude in C sharp minor, not some generic pop song with the same main riffs over and over again. I’m amazed J.C. Staff even bothered to animate portions of it.
